Narrative:
F-OAJI: Unidentified Rapide, also quoted as "F-52" which was operated by Cie. Laotienne de Commerce et Transport, Hanoi. Crashed following engine failure 15.8.51 and subsequently destroyed by fire at Nghia Lo, 150 miles North West of Hanoi, Vietnam.

NOTE: The registration is suspect, as F-OAJI was allocated to an Auster (c/no. 2192) which was written off on 18.1.1956 in the Congo. The company operating the aircraft did operate DH.89A F-OAIL, but the history of this airframe is well known; it was re-registered in Laos as F-LAAB 13.10.55
